Overview

This is a short animated cinematic I created to explore Unreal Engine’s destruction and chaos systems. The story is simple but layered with technical elements.

An alien world holds a magical orb floating above five massive boulders. These boulders transfer energy to the orb via lightning beams. When a character sneaks into the scene and chaos erupts, everything spirals out of control. The climax destroys the orb, the boulders, and a house nearby, closing the loop on a fun, destructive sequence.

Project Goals

• Showcase Unreal Engine’s Chaos system through a destruction-heavy sequence
• Integrate character animations and FX in a seamless cinematic flow
• Use the Niagara System creatively to enhance the atmosphere
